Haha, The front of our house was used in Bellbird when i was a kid. We lived in Elsternwick and the producers drove past the house and asked Dad if they could use it. The actor needed to answer the front door in the scene, so my dad gave them the key to help themselves while we were out. haha
Ahhhh - good to see this one again. It's been a long time since we've seen these opening titles on our screens. This was truly a time when weeknight TV soapies in the "family hours block" really lived up to wholesome family values and not to driving home the kind of mindless junk we see sadly from the newest Home and Away offerings (just as an example).
@autismbass Thats so true. Sad really isn't it. As for the commercial stations, our family watched imported classics like "Little House on the Prairie", "The Waltons", and "Grizzly Adams" Our young 'uns today are being short changed...
this show should be back on tv

Although there's nothing wrong with black and white television, it's nice to see it in colour, eh?

I went to school with the daughter of Terry Norris who at school working bees was always being introduced as his character Joe Turner!
